I.E. on the MAC not cooperating at all...

Post by code-frog »

If someone has a mac then go to:
http://crookham.code-frog-development.com

Else take a look at this and explain this to me cuz I'm perplexed as to why it works fine in:

Windows (Any Browser)
Mac (Safarie & Firefox)

But not Mac (IE)...{SIGH} It's always gotta be a Microsoft thing even on a Mac 8O ...

So the menu is supposed to be up in the oval rectangle and the dropdown should be *under* the menu.

Thanks,

I don't have a Mac but I note you have put the menu in a table. You need to put it in differently than you have it coded. That is probably what is causing the problem in the Mac IE. Placing the menu in a table requires more than just putting in the calls for the files.

Hope that helps. Yell back if that doesn't work.

Hi Rex,

No mac here either, but I'm sure Ruth has nailed it. After reviewing the sample she pointed you to, you might also review the "mac faq," which explains why you're seeing what you're seeing. I think you'll also find another description of table-bound menus here.

Cheers,

Kevin

Well something's not right. Now nothing works. I'm going over it carefully and I'd like to fix it on my own. However, someone with more experience might see it readily.

In a nutshell... HELP :P

You seem to be calling the menu_data.js file, which is correct, but you also seem to have put all the information from that file into script tags right after the call. I just got rid of that and the menu shows up, but again, I don't have a MAC, 0S win98, IE5.5 here

Windows XP here. If I go ahead and <!-- ... menu_data.js --> then refresh I still don't see the menu in the right place (Should be up the page in the oval rectangle (see http://www.crookham.com) and there should be drop down menus. You are not seeing that are you? For all I do I'm not seeing any of that...

Hi Rex,

I see that you're still loading menu_data.js, even though it seems like all of your menu code (at least what you're using for your test) is embedded in the html file. I don't know what's in your menu_data.js file, so it's hard to know if something there is causing any problem. Can you post it?

Your embedded submenu definitions build the image property by adding the value of userKernel into the aI() string. useKernel does not yet exist when the submenus are build, since you have it declared and assigned further down, in the menu code that's still in the table.

I can't speak from experience with Macs (I avoid them), but it seems that IE/Mac is very particular and will crap out at the least opportunity. I would suggest minimizing the amount of code that you have embedded in the table cell. Specifically, I'd get rid of the following:

Code: Select all

            var platform = navigator.platform.substr(0,3); 
            var getBrowser = navigator.appName; 
            var uAgent = navigator.userAgent; 
            var useKernel = "kernel"; 
             
            if(uAgent.indexOf("MSIE") > -1){ 
               useKernel="kernel_ie.gif"; 
               //top=135; 
            }
             
            if(uAgent.indexOf("Mac") > -1){ 
               useKernel="kernel_ie.gif"; 
               //top=40; 
            } 
             
            if(uAgent.indexOf("Firefox") > -1){ 
               //top=117; 
               useKernel="kernel_ff.gif"; 
            } 
             
            if(uAgent.indexOf("Safari") > -1){ 
               //top = 102; 
               useKernel="kernel_ff.gif"; 
            }
(per the earlier comment, it seems as if that code will now be needed earlier in the process anyway). Your main menu in the table should be nothing but main menu:

Code: Select all

            with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
            style=menuStyle;
            alwaysvisible=1;
            orientation="horizontal";
            position="relative";
            aI("text=PRODUCTS;showmenu=Products;");
            aI("text=THE COMPANY;showmenu=Company;");
            aI("text=GENERAL INFO;showmenu=Info;");
            aI("text=NEWS & EVENTS;showmenu=News;");
            aI("text=SITE MAP;url=/menusample1.php;");
            aI("text=HOME;url=/menusample1.php;");
            }
            drawMenus();
Hope that helps,

Kevin

Okay, the menus work again but they are now not in the right spot on Windows or the mac. :D

menu_data.js = fully commented file /* */

For some reason it's sticking it over the top of the photos....

The red rectangle is correct...

Post by code-frog »

Here's the TD block and the tbbgrnd.gif is the red rectangle and it's in the right spot. However the menu is below it. Which if I think about it that kind of makes sense as it's about the height of the tbbgrnd.gif. How can I move the menu up over the top where it should be?

Code: Select all

	  <TD COLSPAN=6 ALIGN=left VALIGN=top><img src="images/tbbgrnd.gif" width="717" height="104">
            <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">

				if(uAgent.indexOf("MSIE") > -1){
					top=135;
				}
				
				if(uAgent.indexOf("Mac") > -1){
					top=40;
				}
				
				if(uAgent.indexOf("Firefox") > -1){ 
					top=117;
				}
				
				if(uAgent.indexOf("Safari") > -1){
					top = 102;
				}
				
				style=menuStyle;
				//top=135;
				left=45;
				alwaysvisible=1;
				orientation="horizontal";
				position="relative";
				aI("text=PRODUCTS;showmenu=Products;");
				aI("text=THE COMPANY;showmenu=Company;");
				aI("text=GENERAL INFO;showmenu=Info;");
				aI("text=NEWS & EVENTS;showmenu=News;");
				aI("text=SITE MAP;url=/menusample1.php;");
				aI("text=HOME;url=/menusample1.php;");
				}
				drawMenus();

Tried the above removed all the navigator. calls and still not in right position. But the menu now works.

But then it might seem rather humorous now. I've just been schooled harshly by my own blindness. I have now put all the code back the way it was. Removed the menudata.js call from the table and placed it up in the body and well...

See you guys the next time I need help catching myself being stupid.

Is it me or is that one busy main page? I didn't design this site at all. But it got dumped on me to fix... {SIGH}

Oh well good opportunity to get better in the web coding I suppose. :lol:
